There are many ways to get involved — including from home

Consider finding a local conservation group that’s doing work that matters to you — beach cleanups, volunteer bird surveys, keeping local parks beautiful, or educating young people. If you’re short on time, donations, sharing posts on social media, and letting friends and family know about the good work a conservation group is doing all help advance their mission. And many crowd-sourced science projects depend on people working online and identifying species in photos.
This episode was produced as part of BirdNote’s “From Love to Action Campaign,” an effort to inspire one million people to take action to help birds in the next three years. To learn more and to tell us how you’re helping birds, visit this link.

Find a Volunteer Opportunity that Works for You

This is BirdNote.
[Rose-breasted Grosbeak]
For many people, taking action for birds often starts with making choices as an individual — like turning off lights during migration or planting a wildlife-friendly garden. But when you put all of those individual actions together, the impact can be even greater.
Consider finding a local conservation group that’s doing work that matters to you — beach cleanups, volunteer bird surveys, keeping local parks beautiful, or educating young people. Local groups can use the time and talents of people who care.

If you can’t find opportunities that fit your schedule, there are other ways to support organizations. Donations, sharing posts on social media, and letting friends and family know about the good work a conservation group is doing all help advance their mission.
There are also great ways to get involved and volunteer right from home. Many crowd-sourced science projects depend on people working online and identifying species in photos. This lets you take part in real biological research from anywhere, at any time.
